In 2020 due to lockdown, or multiple lockdowns or quarantines in my city I purchased obscene number of things. I know I m probably not the only one, so I wanted to review a few things that I loved and few not so much loved. I love getting my nails done and have been getting acrylics and manicures for years, but with COVID and being worried about going places and the I decided to invest in the UV/LED light, and a polygel kit.
Let me start this by saying I am no beauty technically inclined; I have a challenge painting my nails some days (like to a disasters point) but I couldn't be happier with my first attempt. I was shocked at how easy it was, sure it will take practice to get this right.
The starter kit includes: 6 30ml gels in different colors-1.05oz, 50 dual forms in different sizes, 50 pcs paper forms, a dual headed tool-nail brush and spatula and a base and top coat.
Few things I learned along the way:
- Less product is better. To much polygel will just ooze out around the sides and make your nails too thick. Dab just a small amount on the nail form and then add more if needed.
- Alcohol or the slip is your best friend.
- Cure for 60 seconds on both top and bottom of your nail.
- You can paint over those (normal nail polish) and set it with gel provided
- The forms are easier than paper
The only negative, aside from the learning curve if you are clueless like me, is that you need to purchase a gel lamp.
One of the main elements of using nail polish, or getting a manicure, is the cuticle oil. It is important to know that not only do these cuticle oils and creams keep your nails and the surrounding skin soft and conditioned,they can also prevent the growth of fungus and bacteria. Future In Beauty
